and i'm sure we'll make that a big part of our discussion. but there are really two ways to measure how redistricting affects the big picture in the house. you can look at it in terms of the score card that i just went over which seat, if you add up all of those columns, is going to end up ahead at the end of the day. well, i think it's going to be very, very close to a wash, depending on florida, i think it's possible democrats could pick up a handful from the process which is surprising given that republicans earned so many state legislative chambers and picked up so much control in 2010. but then the other side of the equation is really how much can republicans shore up the gains that they made in 2010. and that's a part of the equation that's been more difficult for a lot of us in the pundit world to quantify. but one measurement that was kind of suggested at realpolitics.com and i appreciate this a lot more than a lot of other metrics that have been thrown identity is make the median seat in the house and how far to the right does it mov
